1. Let's think about Arcia on the bench. He needs to sit after 11 K's in the past 3 games and failing to break a bat over his knee in frustration.

2. Let's think about this Yankees lineup. If the Yankees lineup was ours. We'd complain about it.

3. Let's think about Sam Deduno... OK... Just a quick thought about Sam... Now move on to #4

4. Let's think about Phil Hughes... The Yankees are trying to trade him. We can help them get less for him.

5. Let's think about the well fed children of the world... The Starving Children are the ones always talked about and rightly so... But for one day out of 365... Let's think about the well fed children so they know they matter. July 13th is as good a day as any.

Oh <bleep!> ... another <bleeping> race in my neighborhood tomorrow, which means major <bleeping> PITA. Rock 'n Roll Marathon (1/2 marathon) ... all these races ... so fun to run through my neighborhood ... they close all the streets and is a real pain getting around.
